Her own textile work carries that same discipline, thoughtful proportions, quiet finishes, and an insistence on cloth that has earned its character. She works with linen and utilitarian fabrics that show their past life, subtle weave variation, honest wear, and visible mending, turning these details into the design rather than something to conceal. Mararamiro was built as a response to the disposable: a space that celebrates craftsmanship, cultural storytelling, and ethical sourcing, connecting customers with the makers and narratives behind each piece. Based in Toronto near Roncesvalles, Tanya's practice, both as maker and curator, invites a more intentional way of living, where what you bring home reflects your values as much as your taste.
Why Mararamiro carries the work
Tanya Tessier is Mararamiro's founder, and her textile work is the clearest expression of what the store is built around: cloth that has earned its character, made with the same discipline she applies to everything she curates. Linen, honest construction, visible mending as design. These pieces don't perform; they settle in.
